Ex-Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has warned summer signing Florian Wirtz about meeting expectations at the Premier League champions.
The £116m that the Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old, makes him the most expensive British player.
And Klopp fears that the price tag will put a target on Wirtz’s back.
He however hailed Wirtz as an “outstanding player”;, while stating that the playmaker will be “aware”; of his substantial fee.
“There’s no question about it, it’s an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don’t go well for two or three games,”; Klopp told Welt.
“He’s an outstanding player who can give any club something great.
“Whether he’ll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen.”;
